  From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_film_propaganda "One of the leading figures in bringing British war films to the U.S. was Charles Urban, the best known film producer in England at the time. He first brought Britain Prepared to the States in early 1916 and The Battle of the Somme in August 1916, both of whose rights were sold to the Patriot Film Corporation. "

  It's probably a cruiser; it looks a bit small for a dreadnought anyway, and the all big gun nature of the armament would rule out a pre-dreadnought battleship.

  Well, sadly it's not HMS King Edward VII, whose sailors we encountered before here. But similar - spot the differences ...

• derangedlemur said:

  Actually, maybe it is a pre-dreadnought. It looks quite like HMS Goliath. Or HMS Formidable. Edit: Or indeed quite a large number of late pre-dreadnought classes. e.g. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/HMS_Montagu_%...
